I have seen new Hinkley twins in flattrack frames and stock frames
modified for flattrack. Don't recall seeing new twins in old stock
frames.
I think it would be easier, and definately more affordable, to start
with a Hinkley Triumph and buy aftermarket parts to make it look more
authentic. Yes, a Hinkley rolling frame is heavier than an original,
but it will handle and stop far better.
Now, if I could get hold of an old Rickman Metisse frame that would be
a different story.
